Question

Divide $8÷\frac{8}{3}$ to unlock the card and save Uranus.

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

We can write 8 as $\frac{8}{1}$
$8÷\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8}{1}÷\frac{8}{3}$

Take a reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply with the first fraction as follows

$\frac{8}{1}÷\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8}{1}\times \frac{3}{8}$

$=\frac{8\times 3}{1\times 8}$

$=\frac{8\times 3}{1\times 8}$

$=\frac{3}{1}$

$=3$
Hence, $8÷\frac{8}{3}=3$
